The Decemberists Coming to Mesa Arts Center

Huge and old-timey show announcement today: The Decemberists will play Mesa Arts Center on August 11.

The date comes at the end of the Portland indie-folk act's extended summer tour, which is in support of their January record, The King Is Dead. No support for this date announced yet but other legs of the tour feature acts like Best Coast, Justin Townes Earle and Caitlin Rose.

Check out the video for "The Rake's Song" (for my money, the song that best captures the band's slightly-creepy Steam Age aesthetic) and more dates below.
